Couple stay

All employees were very nice & professional. The room itself was our issue, our toilet broke and we had to contact the front desk twice within 2hrs just to get it fixed. On top of that our AC wasn’t even working, it was extremely hot and we had to open our windows. Which wasn’t bad but the noise from outside was a little annoying.

Slight problem with luggage

I love the Handelry, it's a great location, clean and I feel very safe there. My only complaint was unfortunately at the end of our time in San Francisco we went back to the hotel to pickup our bags and we waited for over 20minutes to get them. Normally there's a bell hop there to get them within a few minutes and I hadn't anticipated having to wait so long to get help. Otherwise service is normally good.

Okay option in the city

EXTREMELY slow check-in. Single-pane glass windows, moderately noisy. Unimpressive lobby, somewhat grim hallways. Room was nice, fairly spacious and decently appointed. Would have preferred a proper shower over tub with curtain. Air conditioning worked well but could not control it. A relatively comfortable place to consider for the business traveler.
